Detailed explanation-1: -This connection could use IPsec, but it’s also common to use an SSL VPN to set up a connection between a user’s endpoint and a VPN gateway.
Detailed explanation-2: -A VPN connection establishes a secure connection between you and the internet. Via the VPN, all your data traffic is routed through an encrypted virtual tunnel. This disguises your IP address when you use the internet, making its location invisible to everyone. A VPN connection is also secure against external attacks.
Detailed explanation-3: -While some of your traffic is encrypted by virtue of using an https URL to remote services, your computer is still much more open to devices inside your home than devices outside your home, which is why running VPN client software directly on your computer is important.
Detailed explanation-4: -A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel to protect your personal data and communications, hide your IP address, and let you safely use public Wi-Fi networks or connect remotely to a private network like your office. VPN services also help you bypass censorship, get around content blocks, and unlock website restrictions.
